General Volunteer Bring A Meal Children's Ministry Application

Monday Dinner

Almost every Monday, the KRTC serves dinner to backside workers before chapel service. The Chaplaincy is passionate about pursuing Acts 2:42 community (which includes delicious food from volunteers). "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." - Acts 2:42

Children's and Youth Ministry

The Children's and Youth Ministries exist to reach and teach our little ones with the message of Christ. Through interactive Bible studies and events, each program is rooted in God's Word and seeks to cultivate mature believers in Jesus. Children's and Youth Bible studies occur weekly during chapel services.

Women's Ministry

The Women's Ministry works to care for women 18 years or older. By providing a safe space, the women's ministry provides biblical counseling services, Bible reading assistance, sewing classes, family visits, events, and more. The Women's Ministry desires for all women on the backside to be shaped by scripture and to become disciples making disciples.

Food Pantry

The Food Pantry provides non-perishable and pre-packaged nutrition in cases of urgent need, such as canned tuna, Vienna sausage, peanut butter, crackers, etc. Occasionally, cooked food is made available.

Clothing Closet

The Clothing Closet exists to offer the needs of men and women working on the backside. Because of insufficient funds and limited access to transportation, many workers turn to the chapel for assistance with essentials for living and work at the track--clothes, shoes, linens, blankets, towels, toiletries, packaged food. We strive to offer the love of the Lord by serving their needs, Monday and Thursday mornings.

Donate

Your support allows us to assist with the spiritual, physical and social needs of those working on the backside of thoroughbred race tracks and various training centers. Our Chaplains serve Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, Kentucky Downs, and Turfway Park race tracks in Kentucky, as well as Belterra Race Track in Cincinnati, Ohio. Your gift is an encouragement to the Chaplains’ outreach and this ministry.
